FloridaFloridathe "Sunshine State"the "Sunshine State"

Abbreviation: FLAbbreviation: FL

Florida was named by the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León in 1513. He called the region "La Florida", roughly translated as Land of the Flowers. He probably chose this name because he was impressed by the many colorful flowers. Statehood for Florida came in 1845 (27th state). Florida is one of the leading tourist states in the United States. Great stretches of sandy beaches and a warm, sunny climate make Florida a year-round vacationland. People enjoy swimming, fishing and water skiing in the inland and coastal waters. Major attractions include Disney World, Miami( 迈阿密 )Beach, the Everglades( 大沼泽地 )National Park. Tourists may also visit historic sites that date back to the Spanish explorers.

"Empire State of the South""Empire State of the South"Abbreviation: GAAbbreviation: GA

Georgia, founded in 1732, is one of the original 13 states. It was named in honor of England‘s King George II. Georgia is the largest state east of the Mississippi; the state’s large size and thriving industries have given it one of its nicknames, the Empire State of the South. During the Civil War, the fall of Atlanta( 亚特兰大 )was a crucial turning point in the defeat of the South. Today, Atlanta, which became Georgia's capital in 1868, is a thriving city with major national corporations, and it is considered the economic and cultural center of the Southeast. The natural beauty and famous seaside resorts of Georgia are a major attraction for tourists. Many beautiful monuments and parks, including reminders of important Civil War battles and heroes, dot the Georgia countryside.
